Loma Redonda and Laguna de Mucubaji revealed that this hummingbird species commonly visits the ornithophilous plant Castilleja fissifolia (Scrophulariaceae). RED-BILLED SCYTHEBILL Campylorhamphus trochilirostris venezuelensis According to Hilty (2003), the species has been recorded throughout the northern part of Venezuela (north of the Orinoco) from Zulia to Sucre, including Peninsula de Paria, northern Monagas and south-western Anzoategui. One individual was mist- netted on 15 June 2003 (Fig. 3), within a small inhabited area of Limones (500 m), 10 km north-west of La Azulita, representing the first record of this species for Merida. ANDEAN COCK-OF-THE-ROCK Rupicola peruviana aequatorialis Regularly found in steep, humid, and wet forested ravines with rocky outcrops necessary for breeding. So far, in Venezuela the taxon has been recorded with certainty only from southern Tachira and one site in Barinas (San Isidro valley) at elevations between 1,000-1,550 m (Meyer de Schauensee & Phelps 1978, Hilty 2003). Here we can add three new leks that were recently discovered in the Andean foothills of Barinas: 1. surroundings of San Juan Bautista (800 m), with four males observed on.
